FP10111 German Pistol 17th century, Iron/ Brass

Overall Length: 17 1/2"

Weight: 2lbs

Typical of 17th century civilian or officer-owned pistols, with their lavish decoration and swelled-end grips (which provided both balance and an emergency club), these German pieces feature a finely detailed helmeted head as a butt cap. The long barrels would have provided relatively good accuracy.
